Ideally, the highly productive Vanek would be helping the Isles take the next step after being traded to the team (from Buffalo) last fall, ushering in a new era of relevance for a franchise that won four consecutive Stanley Cups, the last of which occurred when Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was the No. 1 song on the charts. The Kings have been mentioned as a suitor for the Austrian native, although it's unclear whether they're interested in sending over three assets believed to be required to land him. One team that's speculatively remained in the mix is the Minnesota Wild, as Vanek reportedly has ties to the state, though their postseason chances will play a role in how aggressively they target Vanek or anyone else.
